[*]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[/ul] I’m honestly floored that I was accepted, especially since Berkeley has been my dream school for the past several years. Since I was rejected from UCLA, I thought my chances of getting into Berkeley were zero to none. My friends and I were already starting to plan a rejection party for when all of our decisions come out, but now I’m no longer invited! I know my scores are pretty low, my GPA is sort of average, and my extracurriculars are kind of weak, so I guess my essays really did it for me. To those that were accepted as well, congratulations! To those that did not, there are still plenty of great schools out there :).</p>
